A Ganesha idol carved by hand from lapis lazuli. Lapis lazuli is a deep royal-blue stone, often with golden flecks of pyrite. Each carving is one of a kind.
Ganesha is worshipped as the remover of obstacles and the lord of new beginnings, and is often placed at the entrance or in the puja room. Lapis lazuli is traditionally linked with wisdom, truth and clear speaking.
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, and avoid water and cleaning sprays.
